I am sick and tried of removing that ^%&*$% air box on my 500 or any other one for that matter! I finally went back to the K&N filter since I have to change my belt in less than 600 miles anyways. I also purchased the filter cover that matches the air cleaner, and it does tone the noise down quite a bit.
BTW I can't remember who it was, but a big THANKS goes out to the first brave soul to try that JEGS oil/air separator.
